§ 54-94. Sewage disposal.

(a)

General requirements: An adequate and safe sewer system shall be provided in all travel trailer parks for conveying and disposing of all sewage. Such system shall be designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with the state and local laws.

(b)

Sewer lines: All sewer lines shall be located in trenches of sufficient depth to be free of breakage from traffic or other movements and shall be separated from the park water supply system at a safe distance. Sewer shall be at a grade which will insure a velocity of two feet per second when flowing full. All sewer lines shall be constructed of material approved by the building official, shall be adequately vented, and shall have watertight joints.

(c)

Individual sewer connections:

(1)

If individual sewer connections are provided, they shall consist of at least a four-inch diameter sewer riser pipe. The sewer riser pipe shall be located at each space that the sewer connection to the unit drain outlet will approximate a vertical position.

(2)

The sewer connection shall have a nominal inside diameter of at least three inches, and the slope of any portion thereof shall be at least one-fourth inch per foot. The sewer connection shall consist of one pipeline only without any branch fittings. All joints shall be watertight.

(3)

All materials used for sewer connections shall be semirigid, corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent and durable. The inner surface shall be smooth.

(4)

The sewer riser pipe shall be plugged when a trailer does not occupy the space. Surface drainage shall be diverted away from the riser. The rim of the riser pipe shall extend at least four inches above ground elevation.

(d)

Sewage treatment and/or discharge: Where the sewer lines of the park are not connected to a public sewer, all proposed sewage disposal facilities shall be approved by the city health department prior to construction except that the use of a septic tank for the disposal of sewage shall not be approved. Effluents from sewage treatment facilities shall not be discharged into any waters of the state except with prior approval of the city director of utilities and the appropriate regulatory agency of the state.
